As Sun CEO says, if you ar concerned about security,
do not use the internet.

This is extreme, but basically nothing is 100% safe.
However you can minimize your risks following some
rules:

- Microsoft products (windows, IExplorer, windows
media) are the most attacked and most vulnerable. Try
using alternative browsers such as the new
www.mozila.org browser, or www.opera.com

- If possible use alternative operating systems
(Linux, Unix, MAC)

- If the site gives you the alternative to pay through
Paypal or Bill Point or some third party well
recognized web paying service use it.

- use credit cards, better than checks or money
orders, Your liability is only $50.
